We want details because we see it all right here.
Chef Medito working with local chefs to get the season
into the products that they need.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
Yes, So, as you guys know, my family started Chef
Medito forty years ago in Los Angeles. Since day one,
la has been our home and this community is truly
the heart of our brand. We've been devastated by the
wildfires ravaging the place we hold so dear, our team
is hard at work with local chefs. We're providing seasonings

(03:52):
and products that they're making for our first responders, and
we're donating a portion of all Chef Medico sales to
the Dream Center.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
There we go.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
See, that's how it all comes together. There's the synergy
comes to the Dream Center portion of the proceeds, Lauren,
that's what we're talking about.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
Well, we've been seeing all the great work that they've
been doing. We've seen all the volunteers working so hard,
including Jojo and you guys, and we want.

Speaker 7 (04:26):
To make sure.

Speaker 3 (04:29):

Speaker 3 (04:54):
If consumers want more information or looking to get involved,

show of petty people or anything like that, not close. No,
but remember that's very important. A portion of the proceeds
from Chef Menito are going here to the Dream Center,
not to mention all the wonderful work they're doing, not
to mention our partnership and the great work they do. Glass.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
We appreciate you, Lauren, I appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Guys.

Speaker 7 (05:39):
You guys.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, there she goes Lauren from Chef Medito shouting out
Jojo like everybody is around here since he showed up. Yeah,
I'm tired of it, freaking cast a Paul over this show.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
You know what. Somebody texted me the other day like
you know, why do you do this? And I was like,
leave me alone. They're like you just you're a bitter man.
All you do is hate people that are more successful
and better looking you. And I said, well, why don't
you text somebody that's more successful and better looking than you?
Son up a bit and you know that, And then
you know, I'm still a little raw from that. Sure,
And next thing you know, I'm sitting here and here

(06:11):
comes Jojo, a more successful, better looking person, tired of
the lies, and Medito can't even show up. What's she doing?
She should come down here.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Shows him the spices El satado con l that's what
she's doing.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
I'd love a wand that'd be amazing. Yeah, no, it
was a joke.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I thought it was a great start to this hour,
just like we had a great start to last hour.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Craig, it's time for the word of the day, his words.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
The word of the day.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Today's word is Matt. I know, how about you love
the old time in the Olympics, I do. Today's word
is nineteen o four because it was Saint Louis Matt
Summer Olympics in the lou nineteen oh four. It's uh.
You can get a gold medal available now from the

(07:09):
nineteen o four Saint Louis Olympics. One was just purchased
at auction four. Hold on, I mean Kates was talking
about they found that.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Special that eleven year old got the Skis baseball card. Yeah,
the skiings card worth a million bucks.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Jojo doesn't know Scheens, but he knows about the.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Libby Doun, the girlfriend. Yeah right, I mean right, you
know Livy Dunn, you know love those meories that make cure.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
You could own a nineteen oh four gold medal theoretically,
go buy it from this guy for five hundred and
forty five three hundred and twenty seventy one dollars. Is
that a bargain? Half a million? More than a half
a million dollars? It is the first Olympics that the
Americans dominate it. They won seventy eight of ninety six events.

(08:04):
Most of the other athletes from other countries, though, were
not here.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's gonna say, kind of hard to get to Saint
Louis back in nineteen four.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well, there was two reasons. One and the number one
reason no one came was because, as you just mentioned,
it was nineteen oh four, but I'm sure they thought
they were pretty industrious. The second reason was it was
a gnarly war between Russia and Japan going.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
On, the Russo Japanese Seas War.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, a lot of people don't know about that one,
so a lot of people could not participate. Very few
athletes made it because of that war, and Saint Louis
was hard to get to. Twelve nations participated the.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Medal, the US, Honduras, Nicaragua.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Kind of feel like this the Mount Sack. The Mount
Sack Relays has a little bit more diversity than participation.
The medal is from American Fred Shoe, Oh, good old
Fred French Schule, who won one hundred and ten meters hurdles.
Took him three minutes because he lost his shin. Just kidding,

(09:10):
but it is pretty cool looking. Five hundred and forty
five thousand dollars, which is half as much as that
punk ass card from the.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Skis Oh Skeezy pe skeezyzzle exactly right with Libby Dunn.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Matt, you've got the number of the day I do.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
This number is for tien Ks and for you Pete,
because you brought this up earlier, well not earlier, but
yesterday when it was announced that the Bears were going
to be hiring Ben Johnson. Number the day, seventy four,
number one.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Story I was huge.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
If there's one thing I'm going to talk about tomorrow,
this guy can really call me about this.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Bears higher. He's going to clean up all the trash.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Number the day's seventy four. The Raiders are down to
two Canada. According to many information.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
People, who's seventy four around in the league? Four? What's
the number?

Speaker 7 (09:54):
To me?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
They have either Pete Carroll just the number height, just
just a number. Seventy four would be the oldest approach
and history.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
You want to talk about Fairy Desty Tiger bail Bit,
she's best met with Faery Dustin.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Or Todd Monkin, the former head coach at Southern miss
oh se at Georgia who helped Kirby smart win all
those natties.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
That guy did that Hattiesburg, helped.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Make Lamar Jackson a MVP last season, maybe this year too.
That is Todd Monkin or Pete Carroll seventy four years.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Old, not the Saint Monkin from Army. Maybe I don't believe.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
So, maybe, but probably not. Pete Carroll has now got
his information minions, distributing his resume through social media channels
so let me share it with you. Fourteen years in Seattle,
he's got Yogi Roth tweeting in the oh tweeting, He's
doing lives ig lives. In those fourteen years, he made

(10:49):
the playoff ten times. He went to two Super Bowls.
He should have won two Super Bowls, but he only
won one Super Bowl forty eight hammering Peyton mannings Broncos
a defense guy. He coached the league's number one scoring
defense four consecutive years from twenty twelve to twenty fifteen,
and yet he had a top ten offense seven different times.

(11:12):
All things I learned from his information minions peddling. Pete
Carroll seventy four years old, oldest head coach in NFL
history to the Raiders, you should have never let Russ Cook.
Carol was nine to eight in his last year in Seattle.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Because he let Russ Well, he let Gino be Gino.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
He combined twenty five and twenty six in his final
three years.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
He let Gino serve the seal Pino.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
While losing his playoff magic, going just one in five
in the postseason since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
My fault man.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Over those eight seasons, while missing the playoffs three times,
Pete Carroll, Pete Carroll, it may be usc to the
rescue for the Las Vegas Raiders, as Jeremy Fowler very
tall drink of water that does NFL information for the
evil four letter, saying he believes the Raiders will also
hand Sam Darnold a Baker Mayfield style three year, one

(12:05):
hundred million dollar deal to be their quarterback, perhaps with
Pete Carroll, who would be the oldest head coach in
NFL history at seventy four years old. Hey, there's nothing
but a number. Man with me, a TV, ME and
TV go win that man.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, Hey, what's going on? You guys? Want?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Springsteen is gonna play a legion? Should win that game? Man,
That's right, super Bowl for then man, TV won. It
was my fault.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
I decided to do that. I wouldn't. I want to
believe me. Good luck to Pete. Sure, why not, Runny.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
This is the song of the day.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Love is Alive is the title of our song of
the Day from the dream Weaver himself, Gary Wright. Because
today the Petros and Honey Show is broadcasting live from
the Dream Center in Echo Park, where Love is the lie.
With your generous donations that'll keep coming on and helping
those affected by the wildfires, and Great Sports Talk is

(13:13):
doing its part as well, providing three hours talk of
live entertainment for the hardworking people at the Dream Center
before we pass it over to UCLA Basketball where Josh
Lewin and Tracy Murray will have that Bruins pregame show
at six o'clock.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Here comes, you know, Matt, My father, as you know,
Gary Wright, God rest his soul, was a big customer
at my father's restaurant. And on a Saturday night when
Gary Wright would be there, maybe with his skinny legged son,
Dorian the Flamingo. What's with skinny legs? Dorian's six Saturday

(13:50):
night restaurants pomping? You remember how it was now at
the Tivern on sixth Street and Pedro Gary Wright sitting there,
my dad and his skin tight slacks playing Love Is
Alive by Gary Wright, just pumping his hips in an
eighty style. Yeah, it's a different time. That's how I
grew up. Charm child. Hey, why did Jim Lampley go

(14:11):
to the bathroom six times?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Such a charm child?

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Did you get to go clean up after that guy?
Turn it up? Think about my father pumping his hips
that's why he went to the bathroom six times. Matth sce.
See how charmed your childhood is when you're serving a
bottle of Roditi's to Pampojicis on table fifteen. We'll be

(14:38):
right back with more great sports talk. I got a
story for you that trigger a lie nice.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
On behalf of everyone had iHeart and the Los Angeles Chargers.
We want to salute the hair was the very next segment.
Kirmie Yates is a Dodger one one seven e RA.
Last season, we're.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Seeing the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
He will be the Hall of Fame of fatasses.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Oh Man.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Fifteen point two percent swinging misrate in the strike.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Zone, fifteen point two percent body fat.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
So say again, we'll join us to talk about the
newest Dodger.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Next, we talked to Steve Hartman and epic Hall of
Fame conversation last hour. It was incredible, characterized by David
Vassy on the text OsO as a shameless audition of
wonderful Asian family came up and thought Matt was Ryan

(15:42):
Seacrest and took a bunch of pictures with him. It's
a true story. Excuse me, Ryan, Yes, we screamed Jojo
from Kiss FM right out of here. He's gone, unfortunately.
Uh but we're happy to be here at the Dream
Center watching the city come alive with community and and

(16:02):
gentility and gratitude for the lot of graciousness, the people
giving and the people receiving. It's been going on here
for a couple of weeks here at the Dream Center,
Pastor Matthew, and what they built is extraordinary and from
what we heard from our friend Clint, it will continue
through Saturday. We also had the very spicy species Spicy

(16:24):
Lauren from Chef Menito. Yes we did. They're also supporting
the Dream Center. But now it's time for the FlipTop
story of the day.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Matt, I'll clip you out, I will look you out.
This is the FlipTop story of the day.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm going to try to ignore the fact that over
WHORLLL the hot chicks are hanging out. They're playing the
mannequin theme one of my favorite movies of all time,
Jefferson Airplane. Uh God, I just love this song. I
want to go over there and I want to tell
those girls. I want to tell those girls about my
knowledge about mannequin right, want to I want to be

(16:58):
the star of the show. I want to go over
there and be the hero of the story.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
To hell with your Jefferson starship. I just want straight
starshops exactly right, that's what I want.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
You could park that. You can park that airplane trinking
some diet stars and striped soda. Well, Matt, we deal
a lot in the moral high ground on the Petrosen
money shows. We should we hold the moral high ground.
I mean we're here right on the hill above the
one oh one on the Dream Center. We hold the
moral high ground, especially over Craig or engineer who tried

(17:29):
to sabotage the show earlier. Here's a great question of
what's right, Matt. A mountain lion story. Now we are
your mountain lion.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Show off record, not that BS hologram, real live mountain
lion that can eat your throat.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
The fake hologram mountain lion. Of course, we have mountain lions.
One of them died over around Griffith Park not long
ago and received a seven day Heroes funeral here in
the city. I mean Tom Bradley died and not receive
It's a different time. I just like it was a

(18:03):
different times. An amazing hero's funeral for a dead mountain
lion p. Twenty two. KFI literally stayed on air for
forty eight hours straight, remembering that special cat p. Twenty two.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
You went to the Hollywood Bowl right for the service? Yeah, yeah,
well I went there twice. I went to my tickets,
which took hours, and then I went back for the
performance for the service, and I wore a big stuffed
animal mountain lion ahead. But of course everybody knew it
was acrylic.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
You know, I whatever, you know, because a lot of
animal Now listen, Matt, I don't know what they're doing
north east of Griffith Park because they are not treating
their mountain lions the same as we treated p. Twenty two.
It is not the same in Downyville, California. In Downyville, California,

(18:59):
locked on you for this a mountain lion. I think
that's a great policy. A mountain lion Matt in Downyville
grabs somebody's dog in the mouth and started to run
away with the dog in its mouth. The owner was
immediately handed a shotgun by a neighbor, a loaded shotgun.

(19:23):
The owner pulls the trigger sure fills the mountain lion
full of buckshots.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh yeah, not that bird shot bs buckshot.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Mountain lion goes down, dog in its mouth, Dog runs away,
save his dog. Then another neighbor immediately sprints up with
a different rifle and puts a bullet in the mountain
lion's head. Bang down, done. It seems safe to say, Matt,
they treat mountain lions a little differently in Northeast California,

(19:57):
in Downyville than they do at Griffith Park. Indeed, now,
I don't think this mountain lion.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
So threat to the community that I don't think the
mountain lion that those hay seeds filled full of buckshot
and then put a bullet right in its head is
going to get any special.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Concert or movie or hologram or two days. I mean,
this is all.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's gonna get a five seventy great sports talk.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
There was another mountain lion who then returned later and
ate the carcass of the dead mountain lion.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Well, the mountain lion didn't suffer, Okay, Well, I tried
to eat a dog and they put it, you know,
the buckshot.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
I don't even know KFI has even mentioned this, you know,
I mean, this was a huge story. This is our
story on KFI. Last year, Pete twenty two died and
the whole city went in the morning. I mean, it
feels like we have bigger problems. I wonder if any
cats were burned mountain lions in the palace it's fire.

(21:00):
I had to guess, I'd say probably maybe eaten right
right In twenty twenty four, Downyville is not a safe place.
In twenty twenty four, Matt. This last summer, a black
bear went into the home of a seventy one year
old woman and mauled her to death. It's gonna say,
I'm gonnake the bear on that fight in her home,

(21:24):
where my wife sleeps, where my children wife play with
their toys. And if cougar killed a hunter last year
as well in Downyville, and it feels like they're not
taking any s from the animals the same way we
are in Griffith Park. We have an animal die and

(21:45):
we literally go into the throes of grief and desperation
as a city. Up there there's two neighbors with loaded
guns waiting to hand them to another neighbor to kill
one of these mountain lions. Very interesting story, I thought,
quite a contrast that's called being a good neighbor. You're

(22:06):
taking a stand shotgun, then rifle of the doll, right,
taking a stand against bad cats.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
And then you leave the carcass there as a notice
to all the other mountain lines.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
And another mountain line, and then you take a picture
of that mountain lion eating the other mountain and they
send it over to a grift the park and be like,
you see how these two they don't really care for
each other. You know, why didn't you have to make
a whole thing? Why did you have to create traffic?
Why did you have to make Shannon fair and work
on a Saturday? It's right talking about a dead cat. Diplo,
I'm the Ones twos was Diplo the DJ. You know.

(22:42):
I learned about this other DJ the other day. It
was just documentary about a VICII. I love that guy.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I googled it and I was like, oh.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
In Downyville, Matt, there is an alert. You know, we
have our own red flag warning. But in Downyville this week,
because of the incident with the dog in the mouth
and the shotgun and the rifle, the sheriff of Downyville
has said, hey, don't jog, stay inside, no jogging in Downyville.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
There's going to be retribution, not because of the air
quotes it's a gang war.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
But because there might be cougar retribution.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
You take one of theirs, they take five of ours.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Not since the Mott Street Chinatown gangs in New York,
Matt we're shooting each other in the Year of the
Dragon starring Mickey Rourke. Have we seen such a hot
dang war in the world. So I thought you would
appreciate that. Do that a very different mountain lion story,
and we had our own cougars knocking around while we
were discussing it. Too. Little raggedy locked on you man,

(23:37):
a little worse for wear and tear. I was locked
on you, little bleary eyed. That story really spoke to me, well,
I was talking to you. David Massey is going to
join us in the very next segment. Remember, if you're
in Downyville, protect your neck and remained armed at all times.
Like let's say you have an illegal assault rifle like

(23:58):
an AR fifteen, and you get attacked by a mountain
lion in Downeyville, okay, and you shoot the thing full
of holes. Do you get in trouble for having that gun,
or do they say, hey, good thing you had that gun.
We've had a lot of trouble, you know. We had
a black bear come in and maul an old lady
to death in her hall in California. You're in trouble.
But they're right on the border.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
I mean they're right there.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, they are right there. I mean we're daughter party Chase.
I mean that's right where they are in Downyville in
the High Sierras. So we will return, Ronnie, we'll talk
to David Vasse.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
I would imagine the cop and be like, how about
I just take that gun from you and you take
this one from me? And would you say it was
this gun right here that put that cougar down.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Oh like in Porkys when they'd break the street lights.
Exactly right, little country justice. Here in Downyville, we turn
a blind out if you shoot one of these animals
killing us all. I mean, how many people live in Downyville.
That's three deaths.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well they're down to seven.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
They got the dogs, okay, exactly right.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
It'd be a real bummer if it was like a
bitch ass Pomeranian or something.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
They probably worked all night yipping at the carcass and
the dead Mountain lion with a bullet and like a
who's laughing now? Scrappy do, scrappy do ass I like
Scrubby Doo. The only person in the world that likes
scrappy Do is coming on back. David pass On a
five seventy La sports a shapeless audition.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I have at the Dream Center. Be here until six o'clock.
It has been a steady stream of automobile.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Beautiful day in La, perfectly seasonably warm. All the volunteers,
people volunteering, smile. We appreciate you. How the volunteers are
so nice. Usually people hate us wherever we are.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
No, everybody's got a smile. They're waving. They appreciate that
we're doing the live broadcast here. It's all right, It's wonderful.
Jojo Kayla. They're into us, they really are. We appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Jojo should have got that wheel of fortune job.

Speaker 8 (26:03):
Absolutely look at him. He looks like Pat Sa Joe.
I'll die on that hill, no doubt. You know what,
bring back card sharks. Give Jojo something that's right. Chick
herves good.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Enough for him.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
That polling for holling for dollars. So you're working joining us.
No now on your Southern California Toyota Dealers celebrity. I
appreciate you, sir. He is the one and only David Vasse.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
With an inside look at the Dodgers. This is the
Vassie Report with David Maasse.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Dodgers adding relievers like Pez Dispenser delivers Pez. David is
our Dodger reporter. Uh just uh well, maybe this is
his own audition, you know, could be the Vetro Someboddy show.
Davis embedded with the team and he knows everything. Was

(26:59):
there to be a press conference today, tomorrow, next week?
What's going on? David Vasse knows he's from the MLB network,
Spectrum Sports new but he's our guy who sit LA Sports.
What's crocking? Dave? How are you?

Speaker 7 (27:15):
I know your new boss? Really well? He auditioning for
a show between twelve and three.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Oh my, he was great though, right? How great was
that Hall of Fame talk from?

Speaker 7 (27:29):
Yeah? Very nostalgic. It was great. I felt like it
was two thousand and two.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Again, did you agree with what he was saying? Dave?
It feels like these baseball writers are.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Idiots without a doubt.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
He Steve Hartman was on point with all of his bluster.
As far as the Baseball writers and voting in Billy
Wagner and C. C. Sabbatia really a first ballot Hall
of Famer, and Kurt Schilling is still on the outside
looking in. I'm Billy Wagner. I mean, like I tweeted

(28:01):
out about an hour ago, Billy Wagner is in the
Hall of Fame, the all time Dodger saves leader, a
man that has the fourth most saves in Major League history.
Kelly Jansen better get his speech ready immediately, since Billy
Wagner was just voted in today today.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Now, see that's interesting, Dave, because that's kind of what
happens with this right is you have your guys, and
you want to push your guys, and these writers agree,
I'll vote for your guy, and then when my guy
comes up, you'll vote for my guy. So Kelly Jansen
is not a Hall of Famer. He's a heck of
a pitcher. He was a great pitcher, but he's not
a Hall of Fame like in the grand context and

(28:41):
the grand scheme of things, Billy Wagner isn't.

Speaker 7 (28:43):
Billy Wagner was just voted in.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
That's what I'm saying, but that's what I'm saying, Dave, Like,
if we can put an end to the madness, we
should put an end to the madness, though, and not
lower the bar further. We should try to figure out
how we can stop putting in the Scott Rowlands and
the Joe Mowers and the Billy Wagners and get the
Steve Garvey's in there.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Right.

Speaker 7 (29:01):
Well, a lot of people believe that Steve Garvey doesn't
belong in the Hall of Fame. Despite what you guys believe.
There's a lot of other first basemen that have better
numbers than Steve Garvey, and a lot of people believe
he falls into that category of very very, very good
but not Hall of Famer. I personally disagree, and I

(29:22):
personally believe the writers have to put more weight into
what a player does in the postseason. I know they
love the East Coast bias and calling Reggie Jackson mister October,
but when you look at what Steve Garvey did over
the course of his October career, a lot of people
would say that's one of the best October performers in

(29:44):
baseball history. And I just feel like all of that
put together does carry a lot of merit for him
to get better consideration that what he's gotten. But I mean,
the Steve Garvey debate can go on and on. But
here's my point. You start putting in guys like you said,
Matt Harold Bains, Bill Mazeroski, not Mory Wills, Scott Rowland,

(30:07):
Billy Wagner. I don't know how you can tell me
that Kelly Jensen is not a Hall of Famer at
the end of his career when he will have five
hundred saves and a guy that probably by the end
of his career is going to have more more than
three out saves than any other modern day closers. So yeah,

(30:27):
Billy Wagner's in. Nothing you can do to close that vault.
So yeah, Kelly Jansen is a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
David Vsse is our guest. Interesting Hall of Fame discussion,
A lot to get into with the Dodgers, and they're visited.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
It. I can't wait to ask a question about each
your role. But he's coming first with some other Hall
of Fame talk. Well, all I want to say is, Dave,
how do they fix it? I mean, it doesn't it
doesn't feel like I mean, you have a vote for life.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
You can't be old christy dogs. Yeah, it's so, there's
no fixing the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
No, they've watered it down. And you know there's players
that are already been voted in to the Hall of
Fame that have had suspicion and speculation about performance enhancing drugs,
including Billy Wagner. But then on the other side they're
saying Mark McGuire and Barry Bond and Alex Rodriguez cannot

(31:22):
be in. So you know, it's just very hypnocritical, and
really it's completely sideways.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Right now, Well, let's get positive, Dave, because everyone can
agree that each Euro should have been a unanimous Hall
of Fame or whatever. No one's going to care they
got ninety nine point seven instead of one hundred percent
of the vote. But as someone who loves the game,
who appreciates the history of the game, how does each
Euro fit into you know, the greatest of of his
era and all time great? What does each hero mean

(31:52):
to baseball fan David Vasse?

Speaker 7 (31:55):
Well, they're in the Hall of Fame, in every Hall
of Fame, Pro basketball, pro football Hall of Fame, Cooperstown,
there are Hall of Famers, And there's different tiers of
Hall of Famers that we just discussed, and each eu
ro would be in that elite upper tier of Hall
of Famer. If they had a separate room for Ken
Griffy Junior, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, those type of guys,

(32:19):
each euro would be in that room with those guys.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Guy all right, I thought maybe you would expand a
little more about his cool, Willie May's hitting style or
his fielding. Is he the greatest? Is he the greatest
player of his era? How does he stack up against
the power hitters that cost him so many bad MVP votes?
We talked about two thousand and four day when he
broke the record for two hundred and sixty two hits,

(32:42):
and he finished seventh in the MVP voting that year.

Speaker 7 (32:47):
All right, and the writers are in charge of that
voting as well, by the way, that just like they're
in the Hall of Fame. So, I mean, he is
one of the greatest players of his generation obviously, and
playing in Seattle, you know, for him to get the
notoriety and recognition that he got playing basically in a
city that you know, in baseball terms, is kind of

(33:10):
purgatory says a lot about him. They had great teams there,
but still, I mean, it's Seattle, and he really took
the league by storm and it was a generational player.
I think it's safe to say, you, Darvish is the
greatest Japanese pitcher to come to Major League Baseball, and
hands down, Eachiro is the greatest player. And when you

(33:31):
see Otani just had the reverence for him when he
was playing with the Angels and just finding a way
to seek out Eachiro and bow to him in the outfield,
Tani obviously is going to be in that category and
for him, just what he does in his reverence for
him obviously says a lot about how some of the

(33:54):
great players view Eachiro, and everybody views him in that
club of a hall of famers, elite players, and his
body of work speaks for itself.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Dave the Dodgers adding more bullpen? Uh are they done
with that? What's next?

Speaker 7 (34:13):
I mean, yesterday I mentioned Kirby Hs to you guys,
I did. Today we find out that they have signed Kirbyates.
Obviously nothing official yet, but in the same sentence that
Bob Nangel broke that news, he said, what I was
speculating that the Dodgers have some injuries that we don't
know about, and Bob Nanngeale reported that Michael Kopek is

(34:35):
going to miss the first month of the season. Now,
once we do have a some sort of press conference
for Roki Sazaki here this week, we'll find out more
if we're able to from Andrew Friedman. But the Dodgers
haven't said anything about that or confirmed about that. But
the reality is, like I've mentioned the last week two weeks,

(34:57):
the reason why the Dodgers earned the market for relief
is there's a lot of relief pitchers on the Dodgers
that pitched meaningful innings that had never pitched that deep
in their careers. Evan Phillips, Alex Vesia, Michael Kopek. Those
guys were pushed to the limits and pitched to November one,

(35:18):
Halloween basically, so they need some fresh arms. And Evan
Phillips was not on the World Series roster with an
injury arm injury. Alex Vesia was not on the NLCS
roster because of an injury. So it makes sense the
Dodgers are looking for fresh arms and proven arms to
help the team that wants to win now.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
This guy, Dave Kirby thirty eight and he's about to
turn thirty eight in like two months. Missed a couple
seasons I think, was it twenty two to twenty three
or twenty one twenty two, something like that. But then
you look at the numbers from last year with the Rangers,
looked like he was one of the best believers in baseball.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
So what are they getting if everything's all right with
the physical.

Speaker 7 (35:58):
Well, he was an All Star last year with the Rangers,
and last year pitched more innings than he had in
about handful of years. They're getting a really good pitcher
that has an outstanding split fingered fastball, a guy that's
a veteran. Dave Roberts was part of the Padres coaching
staff when Kirby Yates was at the height of his powers.

(36:19):
Dodger fans are very familiar with him because he pitched
for the Padres and that's when he was at his best.
I know the Rangers really wanted to resign Kirby Yates.
So the Dodgers have pulled the rug underneath another really
good team that was trying to resign their guy, and
right now the best remaining closer relief pitcher on the

(36:41):
free agent market is Kenley Jansen, and I expect him
get a pretty sizeable contract at this stage of his career.
With both the best two of the three top relievers
now signed by the Dodgers. So the Yankees are looking
for relief help the Men. They're looking for relief help
the Tigers, the Rangers. So there's a lot of people

(37:04):
out there that still are looking for Kenley Janssen, and
I think that's going to come to a head here
this week.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
David Vassy, with an opportunity to bring in a Hall
of Famer like Kenley Jansen, who can miss it? David
is our guest. Are the Dodgers ruining baseball?

Speaker 7 (37:21):
Dave absolutely not. I mean, what are they doing that's wrong.
They're trying to win. They're spending every other fan base
would love for their team to do so. I mean,
the Mets just forked over what the largest contract to
Juan Soto. Nobody seems to be talking about that. They
already signed Francisco Lindor to a big contract. They're not

(37:44):
done spending. The Yankees in the late nineties early two
thousands were signing Roger Clemens and Jason Giambi and trading
for Alex Rodriguez. I don't remember hearing the outrage from
the East coast the way we're hearing it now. So
the Dodgers always should have been to this level, and

(38:04):
Guggenheim has been able to take it to the level
the second biggest market should always have been.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
At Well done, Dave, wear it, mad dog.

Speaker 7 (38:14):
And by the way, why didn't these other teams sign Tanner,
Scott or Kurbyates. They've been on the free age and
market for you know, it's it's almost February, guys. They
were very available and nobody chose to sign them.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
How about signing Blake Snell last year after his Cy
Young Freaking Award winning season and yet no one wanted
to give him a deal. That's not just the fault
of the Dodgers. Cubs could have locked them up red
Sox could have gone and got them, and they decided
not to.

Speaker 7 (38:42):
Exactly right money. We'll write about that in our second book.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
That's right, Stee, Dave. What about Kershaw? He's still out
there with his gut and his big jaw.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
Oh, Petros, I guess you could do that because you
resemble that description so it's okay, asked.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
What's gonna happen with him?

Speaker 7 (39:03):
He's still recovering from his left knee surgery and his
left foot surgery. I don't see Kershaw pitching anytime before,
you know, may so. The Dodger forty man roster is
full right now. One spring training starts, they could sign
him officially and put him on the sixty day I

(39:24):
l and uh, he'll uh, he'll pitch again in a
Dodger uniform. Is his body cooperates?

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Did you know Bobby Wagner had a postseason Era ten?
Does Patty practice out there?

Speaker 7 (39:41):
Billy Wagner as well?

Speaker 3 (39:43):
Yeah? Oh he just hung up.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
You know he corrected you with that hung out, But
I said, Billy Wagon, I'm still here. Oh we heard
a click.

Speaker 7 (40:01):
I'm on my Lakers to watch the Lakers and the
Washington Wizards. They're eleventh straight loss.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Say hi to Kuzma for us.

Speaker 7 (40:10):
Please, we'll do a.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
